Growing up, my nickname was BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). I grew up in the 90s in Baluchestan, also known as southwestern Afghanistan and southeastern Iran. I would ​spend hours sit​ting next ​to my father as he listen​ed to BBC radio in Persian. Sometimes my father would also listen to the English version of ​the news, but I only started speaking English at the age of 16 when I came to Australia. ​So back then, the Persian version of BBC was ​what sparked my curiosity, enough for me to voluntarily recount ​the news ​to friends and families​, despite their lack of interest.

So it wasn’t an accident that many years later I decided to study and work in the media industry. Over the past ​decade, ​I’ve worked as a storyteller for TV, film and online ​and I have come across some of the most amazing people in the world. I’m lucky to be ​the facilitator who helps people tell their own stories.

Depending on what the story demands sometimes I write, sometimes I produce (pre, field, post), sometimes I interview, sometimes I film, sometimes I take photos and sometimes I hide for hours in an edit suite perfecting a story frame by frame. ​And then there are times when I work on a project and I do all of the above.

I also have a love for film photography, which you can see some examples of here.

I hope this website gives you a snapshot of what I’m trying to do with my life.
